Summary:
- Changes the "Jump to next activity in room" to actually continue you to the next 100 messages ahead. Previously, it only jumped you to the single next event in the room which meant a lot of backwards overlap each time.
- Jumping this direction will also start your scroll position at the top of the timeline to continue reading seamlessly `?continue=top`
- Adds "Jump to previous activity in room" to the top of the timeline to continue reading the previous part of the conversation.
[1]: There is a caveat with seamless here which is also commented on in the code:
> XXX: This is flawed in the fact that when we go `/messages?dir=b` it could backfill messages which will fill up the response before we perfectly connect and continue from the position they were jumping from before. When `/messages?dir=f` backfills, we won't have this problem anymore because any messages backfilled in the forwards direction would be picked up the same going backwards.
(need forwards fill MSC)
We have to figure out our own layout but does get rid of some of the `RoomView` boilerplate.
The `TimelineView` still has outside boilerplate styles to work.
There shouldn't be any visible change.
Also does friendly redirects if you don't exactly use the right URL pattern.
For example, if you paste the full room ID with the `!` like `/roomid/!foo:bar`,
it will properly redirect you to `/roomid/foo:bar`. It also does this sort of
thing for URL encoded room ID's and aliases.

1. Add surrounding messages to the given messages so we have a full screen of content to make it feel lively even in quiet rooms
- As you scroll around the timeline across different days, the date changes in the URL, calendar, etc
2. Add summary item to the bottom of the timeline that explains if we couldn't find any messages in the specific day requested
- Also allows you to the jump to the next activity in the room. Adds `/:roomId/jump?ts=xxx&dir=[f|b]` to facilitate this.
- Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/issues/46
3. Add developer options modal which is linked from the bottom of the right-panel
- Adds an option so you can debug the `IntersectionObserver` and how it's selecting the active day from the top-edge of the scroll viewport.
- In the future, this will also include a nice little visualization of the backend timing traces

Render pipeline separation of concerns:
1. Run in `child_process`
2. Hydrogen render
It's now just a generic `child_process` runner that runs the Hydrogen render in it. This eliminates the windy path of the 1-4 steps that was only held together by the file names themselves.
We now run the Hydrogen render in a `child_process` so we can exit the whole render process. We still use the `vm` to setup the browser-like globals. With a `vm`, everything continues to run even after it returns and there isn't a way to clean up, stop, kill, terminate the vm script or context so we need this extra `child_process` now to clean up. I don't like the complexity necessary for this though. I wish the `vm` API allowed for this use case. The only way to stop a `vm` is the `timeout` and we want to stop as soon as we return.

Remove `matrix-bot-sdk` usage in tests because it didn't have timestamp massaging `?ts` and it's not really necessary to rely on since we can just call the API directly 🤷. `matrix-bot-sdk` is also very annoying having to build rust crypto packages.
We're now using direct `fetch` requests against the Matrix API and lightweight `client` object.
All 3 current tests pass ✅
Get this project running again after a few months of changes
from `hydrogen-view-sdk` and now finally after
https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/pull/693
merged to make the SDK friendly to locally link and develop on.
